Tis the Season for Holiday Fun!

14 Nov, 2018

The winter holidays are right around the corner and the Memorial District is already decked out in bright lights and humming with special activities. Santa helped Memorial City flip the switch on 3.5 million dazzling lights. Between now and Christmas, kids can visit Santa in the Dillard’s wing of Memorial City Mall. There are even opportunities for children with special needs and a chance for your furry friends to see Santa. And, starting November 23, everyone’s favorite musical reindeer return to the Mall every Saturday from 6 – 9 p.m. up to December 22.

Come to City Centre’s Glisten Holiday Party for more festivities and lights on Saturday, November 17. Santa kicks off the fun and will pose for complimentary photos until 5 p.m. in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to Texas Children’s Hospital. Enjoy holiday music from the Houston Show Choir. Bring your warm hats and gloves – we hear there will be snow!

Are you in the mood for some holiday-themed musical fun? We recommend Elf the Musical at Queensbury Theatre. It’s a modern holiday classic that’s sure to bring joy to people of all ages.

Do you need a parents' night out? Life Time Athletic at City Centre will host a HeyDay Parade from 6 – 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. Activities include rock climbing, swimming, crafts, gobble games, and pizza for kids 5-12 years of age. It's just $25 for members and $30 for non-members. Register today by calling 713-630-8444.

With so many festive activities in the Memorial District, you may want to plan ahead. Check our calendar of events frequently to find that perfect holiday happening. Whatever your plans, we hope you enjoy your time dining, shopping or visiting the Memorial District this season!
